Yep, I get both those things. Just want to get the general guidelines for future reference.

More-specifically, the situation was this: I log on in EK to kill a spider every few minutes (as healing/mana permits) with my mid-20s ranger. I get one, then notice a higher-level druid dragging a swam of spiders behind him. I figure, fine, they're wandering and hence anyone's to get (per my previous understanding of camping things) -- due to the level difference and him being SoW'ed, I'll be getting maybe one per cycle of spawns whenever one pops near me and he's busy on the other side of the zone. No big deal. Then he starts DoTing ones I'm in the process of pulling to the ramp. First few I figure are mistakes, either on his part, or me shooting one he'd already snared, so I don't say anything. Then he runs up and does it right in front of me. I send him a tell asking "what the hell?" and he replies, "Yeah, what the hell, I've been killing them for two hours and then you appear and screw up the spawns." Thankfully non-heated exchange of tells ensues. Thus, me asking here for future reference rather than ask staff, since I'm not asking for anyone to intervene. If what I did is considered camp-stealing, I don't to do it again and I owe the guy an apology, but if it's not, I don't want to be a doormat, either.

Sorry for the ramble.

He was being a jerk no doubt about it - having said that tells before engaging in an area where other people are goes a very long way and can usually prevent bad interactions before they start - personally if i get even one not friendly tell or interaction I just leave seems easier to me
